Soft! Over 400km for me to the G and back. I don't miss a match! (on the TV)  I still pay my membership donation every year.

Soft, indeed! I drive from Adelaide (from the southern coast 40 kms southwest of the city) to Melbourne for many games during the season, a round-trip of about 22 hours, at least, with the handbrake providing particular instructions on the route, the speed, the distances to go, the meal breaks, the traffic flow and the price of fuel - every five minutes for the entire journey. . How's that for being an avid Dees fan?

    Definite signs of insanity. Must be a long trip home some weeks!

    Sounds like a disappointing effort from Hunt.

    Must say I have never seen him play well at VFL level. Always thought it was the lack of pace in the game gave him no room.

    He's  quick. That's about it.

    It's either half back or bust for me.

    I don't rate him Dazzle, poor disposal, poor decision maker and whilst he has speed he makes decisions the same way., without considering all options 

    IMO he's depth

    Yep, agree with what you just said. He's lost his mojo and needs to get it back asap.

    Last time we played a VFL side against the Bombers was round 2 in 2013 and we got spanked by 148 points. 

    We’re improving.

    Any Essendrug  Teeth ? left in the Turf

    What was the point of that game if they turn up with 2 sides?

    Yes it is a Hit out, but playing young fatigued players against a fresh side after Half Time is a risky card to play. 
     

    i Hate Essendrug 

    (First time i have written that n 2020)

    It's a good question. The conclusion I have come to is that Burgess or Goodwin wanted every uninjured player on the list to have some real match play this weekend so they are all doing same type and level of work.

    Thanks (not) for that reminder Steve. I was there that day and had finally ( through alcohol therapy) repressed the memory.

    I presume the squad for this game will be released tonight?

    Isn’t it the Collingwood  team that gets day release to allow them to play?

    Wasn’t that the year that the Bummers were on “the good stuff” from Dank?

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
